Spike debuted its Lip Sync Battle television show April 2. Yesterday (April 16), XXL looked into some of Hip Hop’s more well-known acts and the times they were caught lip-syncing.

50 Cent lip-synced at the BET Awards in 2007 and Kanye West is signaled out for his 2013 Saturday Night Live performance, in which he lip-synced.

Producers John Krasinski and Stephen Merchant got inspiration forLip Sync Battle from a Late Night with Jimmy Fallonsegment. They took the concept and flipped celebrity lip syncing into a full-length production.

LL Cool J hosts the program and Grammy-Oscar winners Common and John Legend have made appearances.
